Massivley differant applications for me, but I love them all
(I have HPD 10 / 15 and WDX) the 10 is great as a responsive input controller...it also has the best "kits" in the traditional Snare/Kick?opend and closed hats, toms crash/ type situation...it is the staple for sound on sound one man band looping for me as I can manually play in a great acoustic or electronic sounding beat. the 15 on the hand is a deceptive beast... its more ethnic kit based and to my ears the "kits" are thinner on the ground , but the actual range of sounds to use as "fonts " and then modify in terms of pitch, filter, cutoff etc.............its deeeep. Check out HPD and Smith on youtube...this guy inspired me to spend about 2 years tweaking my kit. basically the 15 is a true instrumend of depth....and its midi is great too. The Wave Drum...stads really to one side of both of these...this one IS an actual acoustic instrument in all but a jack plug...and can be played as such. it has the worst editing system i have ever tried to use... but on the other hand it can create some truly drum sounds....but i think it should be bought very much iwith the same frame of mind as buying a single new snare / cymbal etc for an acoustic kit...... basically it is 2 componants head and rim...thats it........everything else is very clever maths...so its less of an all in "kit"....but that in itself is fine... but like i say, much more like buying a set of tabla then a full western drumkit.

It has a drummerly responsive feel, works fine with sticks. You can tune the head and assign different things to the rim. The standard sound samples are considered good, I don't have enough experience to compare to have an opinion. I did not do any programming, looks like you need patience but changes can be saved to user presets. My main complaints are that switching between presets is slow and some of the presets, especially the synthy ones, are not that interesting at least to me -- there are no glitchy electronic kit presets for instance. No MIDI. The main point about the Handsonic is the MIDI. I think this makes it more versatile but seems you would need software/laptop to take full advantage. So it functions as a controller but then latency issues would have to be compensated I suppose. regards BobC |
